Lauie 125 Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 Is that some kind of special hippie free range organic tofu fed halal and kosher certified chicken? Dude, didn't you get the Walmart hint? Nothing there is special. Link to post Share on other sites
MattFromGA 1,233 Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 Home cooked meal costs at least $20 to make. A Big Mac costs less than $5. LOL - Where do you come up with those numbers? If you spent $20 to make a home cooked meal, it would probably feed a family of 4 for two or three meals. If they are at least 50% Filipino, make that 8 people rather than 4.

Lauie 125 Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 Nope, they quarter the live chickens right there in the slaughter house on isle 5. So it's either live or frozen huh! Link to post Share on other sites
Wrye83 1,346 Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 So it's either live or frozen huh! No, but chances are if it was bought in Walmart is has been frozen at some point in its trip to the shelf. I'm sure there are some exceptions but the majority of meat products there have been. But go on paying that 5 bucks/chicken breast. Link to post Share on other sites
Lauie 125 Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 No, but chances are if it was bought in Walmart is has been frozen at some point in its trip to the shelf. I'm aware of this, but my point was that the meat labeled as previously frozen (in styrofoam, on shelves) are priced differently (more) than the ones that are in bags and are as hard as rocks. That's why I commented on Broden's post because there's no way a 10 lb "not frozen" chicken quarters at Walmart would cost that cheap. Link to post Share on other sites
Davaoeno 37,493 Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 But go on paying that 5 bucks/chicken breast. I'm sure that she will ! What difference does it make to you ? We all have the right to splurge on the things that matter to us , and obviously Lauie has specific requirements in the chicken that she eats . But feel free to buy the cheapest chicken you can find ! I wont knock you for doing so . Link to post Share on other sites

Davaoeno 37,493 Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 I used to have a house near Tampa and would go shopping for food there. Sometimes the chickens were the size of small turkeys - which didnt bother me near as much as the fact that they were bright yellow !! They were from Arkansas. It occurred to me on occasion that i should check if they glowed in the dark !! Link to post Share on other sites
